How would you make a game based on the SCP Foundation? Ideally it should capture the fear of trying to capture some reality warper out in the field as an agent or surviving a containment breach as a D-Class.
Play Delta Green instead.

Poor form, newfag.

Fill it with hopeless situations. Let the players know that they're probably going to die at least once within 10 minutes of starting. Don't give the players a hope of fighting back against the clearly more deadly SCPs like 173 and 682 until they're properly equipped with prototype gear designed specifically to deal with the SCP in question.

lmao calm down

Op here, I posted the field guide pic, not the /thread thing

I would avoid the meta stuff within the SCP wiki as much as possible.
I'd start it with a super low-power, realism-focused game (maybe using GURPS, god forbid) that starts out normal. The first part of the campaign would have the party as people in the same community that suddenly has to deal with an SCP cryptid thing, trying to survive. Then the weird-ass men in black show up, and after they pull some gritty heroics by the skin of their teeth, they get brought into the SCP to be debriefed. Cue a sudden breakout a la that shitty indie game, then special commendations if they survive.
Any deaths would be rerolled as existing SCP agents who have a better idea of what's going on off the bat, but are still in the dark as they are forced to deal with civilians thanks to the lack of personnel in the area (due to the SCP activity).
I haven't had a chance to play (or even read) this yet but I hear it's very deadly. The base system is pretty solid for horror games though.

SCP is full of want and entirely devoid of can. It's the lowest level of fetish wanking. It's what happens when DnD players try Call of Cthulhu for the first time. It is not a setting.
>>46702854
I cannot for the life of me see why anyone would want to play in the SCP "setting." The whole thing seems like absolute anti-fun.

Oh hey look, it's the fun police
>>46707010
Well, I mean it's all a question of perspective. Some of the SCP's are having a great time.
>>46709033
Oh, fuck you.
Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green
>>46709529
Don't try to SCP those, just play either instead.
>>46709033
Have the players play AS the SCPs. Kill as many d-class as possible before you get thrown back in your cell/acid pit/dimension/concrete cube
